a"mlily tli' pnstor of all local Presby
terian churches yesterday in their pulpit.
I it on: form and another, presented thp re
Utlun of the gospel to labor. Inasmuch as
today Is Labor day anu will thus Iw cele
t.ratrd throughout the l' tilted States.
one of the. striking rrmum of the day
hps ttiat prenched by Rev. A. fi. c. Olarko
tit the Lowe Af,nun church. Rev Mr.
'lark spoke frnni Ih text, "The klng
ilor.i of (ind Is now at liand." Matthew
X:1T
At the outset Mr. Clarke said It was not
his purpose minutely ti enter Into discus
sion of the labor question or any phase
(f (t, but only to show the true relation
of th gospel to labo which Christ. Hini
elf a wothfiian, preached first to man.
This !le did eloquently and with lmpresslvi
force.
Mr. Clarke asserted that "the kingdom of
(kid Is tho philosophy of history. ' He said
It was present today and accessible, to all
who livid for Christ. It was not neces
sary to await eternity to realize the king
dom of God. For proof he turned to hi
text. "The kingdom of God Is at hand."
Thu laborer who tolled In that kingdom
which the Great Workman established on
earth when He was lolling Hmong His
fellowmen. Mr. Clarke said, was the la
borer who whs fulfilling his Master's will.
The gospel and labor went hund In hand,
for fh Christ of the gospel was Himself
a laborer and there was no reason, said
Mr. Clarke, why any other workman could
not; In his dally toil, serve Uod.
"I want no church calendar to tell me
what day In the week to serve the Ijord,"
said Mr Clarke. "I want to serve Him
every day six as well as one, and that
Is what every workman should do."
Mr. Clarke referred to the amelioration
of the conditions of labor through organiza
tionshorter hours, higher wages and more
employment. He spoke In optimistic vein
of present day ' conditions and the better
understanding that Is growing up between
capital and labor. "The good old days
were not like unto these days," he Bald.
"We are living in the good days and our
opportunities are greater than men ever
enjoyed before."
FRA8T DAY AT ST. I'HII.OMF.NA
Father 'James Aherne Preaches of
Fralt fulness of Self-Sacrifice.
The feast dav of St. Phllomena, patron
saint of the parish and of the Omaha dio
cese, was celebrated Sunday morning at
St. Phllomena'a cathedral with all the Im
presslveness and dignity that the rubric
of the Catholic church prescribes for such
occasions. Four masses were celebrated,
the earliest at o'clock. It was at the
high mass, at 10:SO, that the panegyric of
the saint was pronounced, with Bishop
Scannell on the panegyric throne, sur
rounded by a group of fats clergy. Father
James Aherne delivered the eulogy, and
In doing ao drew some, plain lessons of
duty to. Ood and man from the experiences
of the ealnt which ended In martyrdom.
"Man Is worthy of honor and esteem,"
said Father Aherne, "not because of who
he Is, In what country born, or whether
his station tie high or lowly, hut for what
he has done. Like the beauty of the
king's daughter, his worth Is from within,
aot from outward s seeming. There havo
been great generals who were not great
men. They are such only who think what
ll true and. do what Is right. They who
love conscience, truth and Justice unttj
flth 1 are the really great onea of thi
earth In' the sight of od. Men may con
quer the physical might of a nation, but
they cannot conquer the nation's ml.id.
"Today holy church places before our
eyes one whom she calls great. St. Philo
mena lived a Christian maiden and died
a Chrlsttan martyr rather than violate her
conscience. In the early Christian times
those who ' professed Jesus Christ faced
disgrace, contumely, the loss of this
world'a goods. St. Phllomena was one of
that noble band who died for Justice, good
conscience and morality. ' She prayed for
her persecutors In pagan 'Rome. Her ex
ample was ' 'potent In accomplishing a
revolution of thought among the mighty
nd gave the lowly new Ideals. Through
It the cross, so long a symbol of shame,
was elevated to tho housetops.
"The very essence of Christianity Is the
spirit of self-sacrifice This may be prac
ticed by all, old and young, In one form
or another, though not all may see martyr
dom." 1
At -the conclusion of the high mass there
was solemn benediction of the blessed sac
rament. WORK TOOKTIIRIt H FF.M.OWgHTP

MERE PHILOSOPHY 19 TIFYI
Dr. F. . Stein Ararnea the eed of a
Belief In Immortality.
Thanksgiving for the peace settlement
was made In the prayers offered at St.
Mnry's Avenue Congregational church Sun
day morning. Rev. Ir. F. 8. Stein of Lin
coln preached, arguing for a belief In Im
mortality. "We do not pause to think of the effects
of Christianity oiv modern life or truce
Its ' Impulses to the sources." said he.
"Jesus brought life and Immortality to
life. A little while ago you and I were not
here. In a little while you and I will not
he here. In the light of this Incontroverti
ble fact how all distinctions and all prob
lems of an earthly nature fade Into In
significance. "It la a huge falsehood for any man to
say and maintain that we receive our re
wards as we go along. We are compelled
by the very exigencies of life to look to
a future state where Inequalities will be
corrected and virtue shall have its own
reward.
"The masses need something more plain,
di'tlnlle. convincing than philosophy af
fords, and even the best educnted of us,
with all our philosophy and re.-wonlng, have,
to stare at a great Interrogation point.
Vet he Is inadequate to rightly discharge
the functions of earthly existence who
Is not Influenced by a conviction that this
life Is to be computed In the one be
yond. This life would be an enigma and nil
of us pessimists If we did not have such
a belief, but outside the doctrine of Jesus
Christ we have no assurance. One of the
purposes of the advent of Jesus Christ
was to draw aside the veil of futurity
as He alone could do it. He revealed what
our finite minds could not precelve. He
made plain there Is no death. He taught
us that our brief earthly life Is a kinder
garten In which to engage In preparation
for what Is to follow. Therefore he gave
us the key to the solution of the problems
of the world. He showed us where to put
the emphasis on life on the high Ideals
that shall lift us to the stars."

Hev. Dr. I.owrle of Illinois Says Men
Forget Jesas In Prosperity.
Rev. James Gibson Iowrle of Ipava, III.,
brother of Dr. lxwrle of the Omaha Theo
Iglcal aemlnary. preached at the Central
United Presbyterian church thla morn
ing and at Knox Presbyterian church in
the evening. In his evening sermon he
considered those who disregard the Lord In
times of prosperity, but seek Him when In
trouble. He told of Baalak, Zedeklah and
Jehoram when they were in trouble, ask
ing of the prophets Balaam. Jeremiah and
KHJahv "la there any word from the
Lord'"
"A man who never thinks of religion
when he Is well sends for a minister of
the gospel when he Is sick. Saul, when he
had rebelled against the Lord, asked Sam
uel to pray for him. There arc those who
push away any who appnr 'i them and
In folly and shame turn c from light
and truth. When trouble .', ucs they say,
Is there any word from the Ixird?'
"In the midst of their questions come
the answers, which Ood sends In His own
way, and the tenor of them la always the
same. 'Woe unto him who strives against
hl neighbor.' 'The wicked shall be burned
In hell.' 'Be sure your sin will find you
out."
"There Is another message, for the mercy
of the Lord Is changeless to the repentant.
It comes to men when they are willing
to take the word of the Lord in the wav
He wants to send It. The blessed message
is. 'The mercy of the Ixird Is from ever
lasting to everlasting to those that fear
Him." "
CROWDS OUT AT KRUG PARK
Cool Weather Does ot Interfere with

The cool weather of yesterday had no
effect upon the attendance at Krug Park.
Crowds flocked out both nfternnnn
evening to this popular resort. Owing to
me prevailing high wind and the danger of
the balloon catching fire both balloon crews
were needed to fire one balloon, so the bal
lrpn race was postponed until today, and
the fireworks balloon and parachute Jump
were combined Into one feature. Vev Hunt,
ley made one of the prettiest Jumps of the
season and the effect or fireworks shot off
from a balloon waa very pretty.

LIGHT ON ILLUMINATION
Some rigurei on Electric Lighting Which
City Council May Btudj.
DETROIT LOWEST. HEW YORK HIGHEST
Prices Ter lamp Per Year Raaa
from ThlrtyFoar to One
Hundred and Thirty
Hollers.
Omaha's city council has been searching
for figures and data on the cost of lighting
a great metropolitan city by electricity. In
view of that Tact. The Bee herewith pre
sents this list of cities and their prices per
lamp. The list is taken from the Phil i
delphlu Press and did not originally con
tain Omaha. The Bee. therefore, inserts
Omaha and It outitract price of $75. It
should be said, however, that the contract
between the electric light company and the
city contains a clause providing for a 3 per
cent loyalty on receipts from private light
ing and the total averages practically oper
ate as a rebate of 121 a lamp, leaving the
ret price $04. That In the theory, at least.
The Press, In presenting Its list, says:
This table, showing tho present rates paid
by American municipalities per lamp r
year, reveals a marked chance when com
pared with the New York Merchants' as
sociation table printed In the Press on Aug
ust 14. In the Merchants' table, which was
made up of the same cities polled by ihe
Press, the lowest price per lamp was
for Kvanavllle, Ind., and the highest price
was Jltfi feir New York City. As a glance
at the Press table shows. Detroit now leads
with the lowest rate. New York t'ltv. still
the highest, bus fallen off considerably,
while within three years the price of elec
tric lighting In towns that have built mu
nicipal plants, or have permitted competi
tion has fallen off one-half.

"Arixona" Is not only one of the best
plas written by ' Mr. Thomas, but it Is
one of the 1est of all American plays,
and very easily stands at the head of the
list dialing with army lire In the west.
H Is reasonable and rational In Its every
aspect; it does not ask one to believe Im
possibilities, and It does no violence to
one's knowledge of the locale. The men
and women in "Arizona" are taken from
life, and the scenes and Incidents are
photographs and short-hand records, rather
than Impressionist sketches. About it all
there Is vibrant quality of genuine life,
the kind that thrills with rich, warm
blood, and whose Virility is none the less
because It has been transferred to the
mimic world of the stage. The story of
the piece has been made familiar by Its
frequent presentations here, but It can
never be overpraised.
The company now offering the play at
the Krug is quite -fvell qualilleil lo bring
out the force 'and beauty or Mr. Thomas'
excellently conceived situations, and most
effectively Interprets the story he has told
In the play. Interest naturally centers
around Lieutenant Denton, a finely con
ceived character, and Mr. Farrell does
not disappoint expectations. He Is a clever
actor, with good manners and methods,
and evidently possessed of a great reserve
force. He curries off hts scenes with skill
and finish, and very carefully values each
situation, ' o that his whole performance
Is most satisfying." Mr. Patterson Is also
strong In the thankless role of Captuln
Hodgman. He plays this part most per
suasively, and affords an excellent con
trast for Mr. Farrell. Mr. Drury s Tony
and Mr. Graham's Sergeant Kellar are
finely done, but knowledge of cavalry
methods suggests that Kellar either train
down or exchange Into the artillery. It Is
asking too much of an ordinary mount to
carry him all day under the sun of . Ari
zona. Ben Deane. makes a most Impres
sive doctor, and the other men In the bill
are up to requirements.
Miss Lobdell looks the Ideal Bonlta. She
is young and pretty, with San Francisco
manners welded to Arizona training, a de
lightful combination of cosmopolitan cul
ture and the free and easy breezlness of a
country that Is as big as all out of doors,
the whole topped , with that greatest of
charms, maidenly reserve that never over
steps the bounds of propriety even In Its
frankest moment , of Joyous good fellow
ship. It Is perhaps enough to say that
Miss Lobdell Is all of this, and yet she is
to he credited with a correct conception
of what Is rrqulcrd. of Bonlta in the more
serious situatioriK, when the action of the
play leads her through the deep waters. Miss
Desmonde very' w;elf enacts the role of the
discontented wife, who bitterly learns her
lesson, but falls' a bit short of being con
vincing In the part. Miss McCall. Miss
Scott and Miss Chllds are all deserving
of praise for tha taste and good Judgment
shown In their parta. The eettlng of the
piece Is correct in every deiall.
Two performances were given yesterday,
both times to all the people the house
will hold. "Arizona" will be continued
until after Wednesday night, with a spe
cial matinee today and the regular matinee
on Wednesday. .

CHICAGO MAN TILLS OF STRANGE FIGHT
E. lllhhard Wltherell of Colorado
aya Ambitions Farmers Are Trav
eling: Westward to Settle on
the Irrlaated Land.
Hotel clerks, as a rule, see much of the
world and are not easily excited or frus
trated; as a general thing they are ru,ual
to occasions and do not get stage frlghl
Clerk Corey of the Millard hotel, however,
fell against the counter of the Millard ho.
tel office Sunday morning when John O.
Clinton of Chlcugo unpacked an express
package, opened up his fall overcoat, went
through the pockets in a mechanical sort
of manlier and found tu one of the re-ct-WacleB
a $J0 bill.
Mr. Clinton Is ii well known traveling
man fur a Chicago wholesale house. He
applied for bed and board at the Millard
Suturduy morning, and, noticing the
weather forecest predicted cooler weather.
Immediately telegraphed his wile at Chi
cago for his fall overcoat. The garment
reached heie by express Sunday morning,
will, the result noted.
"Thla Is tUe first time I hae known
my wife to overlook a bet of this kind,"
leniHrked Mr. Clinton, as he folded up the
hill curefully, placed It in his wallet and
indited a short telegram to his spouse.
The Chicago man's find had an amusing
effect on the guests and others at the
Millaid. Every one made a rush for fall
overcoats and bunches of men were seen
going through the pockets of these gar
ments for possible forgotten currency.
The Chlce.go man maintains he cannot
remember when he left the bill In his coat
nor under what circumstances he had so
much money that he should overlook the
note.
He suys he will buy a season ticket to
the hotse show and a new pipe with tht
bill.
"Speaking of fights," said K. L. Dor
wood, a Chicago baking powder salesman
at the Merchants' hotel Sunday afternoon,
"1 have one that has them all faded."
Mr. Dorwood Is a charter member of the
Truth Seekers' society, so that every story
he tells bears the stamp or truth blown
In the bottle and the promise that If any
one Is not satisfied his money will be re
funded at the box office as cheerfolly as it
was received. As a matter of fact, every
one goes away pleased and tells his friends
about it.
"I was at Burlington, Ia., Saturday morn
ing and was an eye witness to as novel a
fight as anyone could wish to see. 1 have
seen dog fights, cat fights, rooster fights
and have heard pugilists fight, but this
fight taken the blue ribbon."
"Tell us about It," chimed In sixteen
men us though but one man was speaking.
"Well, I was walking along a street Sat
urday morning In Burlington, when sud
denly I noticed a small fruit stand, all
enclosed with woodwork, begin to wobble
from side to side. At Irst I thought I
might tie seeing things, but when I re
membered I drank only buttermilk the
evening before I stopped nnd took further
notice of the agitated stand.
"As the seconds passed the stand be
came more animated, and yet I could not
hear a sound within. The stand would
topple to one side and nearly go over, then
reel over to the other side, then become
stationary for a few seconds. Finally It
went completely over, the door flew open,
two large watermelons rolled out and
along the walk, to be followed by two men
closely engaged In combat. I have seen
two roosters fight In s sack, hut that was
the first time I ever saw two men Tight
Inside of a fruit stand."'
K. H'hbsrd Wltherell of Colorado Spring,
a man who for some years. has ben closely
Identified with the development of that
part of the western country lying In Colo
rado from Union Junction to the Kansas
state line, is a guest nt the Merchants'
hotel. Mr. Wltherell Intends to open an
office here before the close of the year, so
extensive has his business become In this
part of the country.
Speaking of Lincoln and Cheyenne coun
ties particularly, Mr. Wltherell says that
section of Colorado Is now being settled
with remarkable rapidity. The rainfall has
been so generous and even for the last
four years that thousands of farmers, Ger
mans and Norwegians esneclally, are mi
grating where land may still be obtained
for a low rate per acre, with every Indica
tion of successful crops.
"A few dnys ago I sold 13,000 acres of this
land at Albert !a, Minn., nnd during the
summer I have disposed of 70.000 acres of
this territory. We are threshing thirty-five
bushels of winter wheat to the acre this
year and have a fine natural sub-Irrigation.
The Rock Island. Missouri raelflc
and I'nlon Pacific roads go through dif
ferent parts of these counties. It Is one
of the parts of the west to which the
westward trend of empire Is making Its
way. Land may be secured from $5 to $7
per acre."
An apt Illustration of how -easily some
people are satisfied with the goods of this
world was given yesterday at the Murray
hotel, where a young man from Holdrege,
on his way home from a first trip to Chi
cago, was telling a friend of the wonders
of the Windy City.
"'What did you see In Chicago?" began
the friend.
"Oh, I Just saw everything." proudly re
plied the young men from Holdrege.
"Did you attend the theaters?"
"No."
"Did you see the White City?"
"No."
"Did you visit the Field Art museum?"
"No."
"Well, what did you see?" finally asked
the friend, who waa becoming Interested.
"I saw Lincoln park and the Chicago
river," replied the Holdrege man.
